Interesting to see a hub mounted backup bell still installed on something.....

4.73 Ratio 😲

The Facebook listing says it belonged to an amusement park company so its probably from the same outfit.

Saw the following listing on Marketplace and thought I would pass it along. No affiliation. Very nice truck IMO. Price seems very good IMO considering how little most likely needs done to it. If I liked cabovers I would be getting this one. 1984 Mack Mh600 - Commercial Vehicles - Garrettsville, Ohio | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook

What a ridiculous statement. Does the Union honestly think Volvo didn't check into this before deciding to invest hundreds of millions into increased capacity in Mexico manufacturing? In the same announcement Volvo announced an $80 million investment into Lehigh Valley Assembly. They didn't announce any layoffs at Lehigh Valley. What does the UAW want? You could hand a union man a free $100 bill and he would bitch because you folded it wrong. I don't think it has anything to do with caring about workers more so than trying to operate as profitably as possible under the current laws, economics, and circumstances. Why wouldn't a company like Volvo increase manufacturing in Mexico? NAFTA basically incentivizes companies to use cheap, Mexican labor tariff free. I love watching videos of the 1992 Presidential debates. Every single thing Ross Perot said came true. The man was a literal genius. My guess is better than 80% of UAW membership voted for Bill Clinton. Reap what you sow. Are Mexican assembled vehicles of lower quality than USA/Sweden assembled? Maybe, maybe not? Doesn't matter. The industry and society as a whole have accepted lower quality products a long time ago. Everyone complains about cheaply designed and assembled products made from junk materials but the vast majority of people will buy the cheap junk many times over. No manufacturer is making anything as quality and reliable as a 1973 R model. In this day and age it would be wise for a manufacturer to build something as cheaply and easily as possible with just enough durability to get it through any warranty period.

Its been a while since I drove an ASET AMI but as I recall they were very gutless in low rpms. Pretty respectable reliability for an early EGR engine but completely contrary to what Mack vocational engines had been since the 237 Maxidyne was made in 1965. The AMIs had zero lugging ability and seemed like they were derated below 1300 -1350 RPMs. The old mechanical E6 & E7 Maxidynes would keep pulling like a freight train down to 1100. These things were nothing like that. My guess is your current ratio is specd to keep the Revs where they are for a reason. I would not want an AMI 370 to cruise below 1300 or 1400 RPM.

You sure about that? BalticShipping.com, which is somewhat equivalent to flightaware.com for commercial freighter ships lists the ships master (captain) as Ukranian with a US Visa expiring on 11-14-2025. The engineman/oiler is listed as Indian. I know what nationality legacy media is saying the captain is. All I'm saying is there is a credible source saying something else. I don't think the captain was in sole control of the ship when it collided with the bridge and my previous post does not imply that he was. Don't read any further into my previous post than what the words explicitly say. I'm not in the least implying this is some conspiracy. All I'm saying is a credible source has the captain listed as Ukranian and this boat has crashed into other infrastructure before....in Belgium. The boat was built in 2015 so I would consider it fairly new.

Two interesting things that have been reported on and verified are the captain driving this boat when it collided with the bridge is Ukranian. Also there is footage of the Dali colliding with docks at the port in Antwerp Belgium in 2016. Not sure if it was the same crew or not. I'm guessing not.

If Stellantis / Fiat/ Dodge / Ram or whatever they are called these days had any sense they would just replace their mediocre Hemi with one of these as the gas engine option in their 2500s and up. They already have the exclusive agreement with Cummins for light duty diesels. From looking at the performance specs my guess is this thing would run circles around the 6.4 Hemi for towing and heavy duty pickup work and would probably be more efficient while doing it. The two major drawbacks I see for this as a base gas engine would be weight and cost. This thing is probably a few hundred pounds heavier than a Hemi v8

Is that the exhaust coming out behind the rear fender like a pickup?

Sounds like you would be good to go then. Like I said if its already converted to 22" hubs to run 24.5" tubeless rims then I don't see a problem. There should be a hub pilot hub that crosses to that spoke hub's dimensions I would think. Maybe you would run into weight rating issues. Maybe hub pilot isn't rated for that much weight? Just looking at the two styles its easy to see how spoke hubs can safely bear a lot more weight than hubs supported by wheel studs. I dunno. I would just call the experts and ask the question. Also what is the truck used for? Depending on the application, spokes provide a lot of benefits in my opinion. And being that they are already converted to 24.5" tubeless hubs/wheels I'd say you probably in the best position already.....

I don't know if I've ever seen 58k rears with tubeless rims/tires. Only 11.00-24 and 12.00-24 tube type tires. Its an interesting question if the wheel ends can be converted to 22" hubs to run 24.5 tubeless tires. Someone on here will probably know if its possible to do, however, I would call Barry at Watts Mack and ask the question. If it is possible he will be able to give you all the correct part numbers for the hubs, bearings (if necessary), seals, etc. My buddy did a conversion of 38k Mack spoke hubs to hub pilot and Barry told him everything that was needed and gave him all the part numbers in only a few minutes. Being the truck is a 1998 I don't think finding the information will be much of an issue.

Here is some more pics.

If you look closely at the emblems they do say F700. Plus it has a vendor engine (Detroit 8V71) which is typically in 700 series chassis.

The engine serial number is stamped into a ledge in the engine block casting just above the water pump housing on the front right.
